config object
example_actions array Example action vocabulary for this environment (same shape as a turn's `valid_actions`). NON-AUTHORITATIVE: documentation and SDK scaffolding only, never read at turn time. Every turn declares its own
get_or_create boolean Idempotent register for CI: when a LIVE environment with this name (case-insensitive) and the SAME kind already exists, return it with 200 instead of 409. The existing row is returned AS IS: config, n
kind object What kind of surface this is. Closed on write, open on read: Open union: new values may be added over time; clients must tolerate unknown values rather than failing on them.
name string
observation_retention object How long sessions on this environment keep their observation frames: `none` (discard after each turn), `30d`, `90d`, or `indefinite`. Omit for the default (`30d`). A session may override this at open;
operating_notes object Operating manual for the RESOLVER only, never shown to the person. Becomes the default `resolver_guidance` for sessions opened against this environment; a session may pass its own, which wins.
